Without an argument, ACL CAT lists the command categories you can use in ACL SETUSER rules such as +@read or -@dangerous. With a category, it lists the commands in it, in lower case, with subcommands written as command|subcommand. Category names are not case sensitive.

HotKV has these 25 categories: keyspace, read, write, set, sortedset, list, hash, string, bitmap, hyperloglog, geo, stream, pubsub, admin, fast, slow, blocking, dangerous, connection, transaction, scripting, bloom, cms, topk and timeseries.

Return value

Section titled “Return value”
Case RESP2 RESP3
